An evocative, poignant saga of four people trapped, and ultimately destroyed, by their addictions Sara Goldfarb is devastated by the death of her husband. She spends her days watching game shows and obsessing over appearing on television as a contestant, and her prescription diet pills only accelerate her mania. Her son, Harry, is living in the streets with his friend Tyrone and girlfriend Marion, where they spend their days selling drugs and dreaming of escape. When their heroin supply dries up, all three descend into an abyss of dependence and despair, their lives, like Sara’s, doomed by the destructive power of drugs. Tragic and captivating, Requiem for a Dream is one of Selby’s most powerful works, and an indelible portrait of the ravages of addiction.

Memoirs of a Gnostic Dwarf (Contemporary English Language)
by Madsen David
(11 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy | Contemporary Fiction | Fiction Classics | Historical Fiction
Dedalus specialises in fiction that could roughly be classified as gothic or arcane, or indeed gnostic. First published in 1995, this one immediately caught readers’ imaginations and has since become something of a contemporary classic. It has a cute frame opening (‘ It is not necessary for me to relate precisely how these memoirs fell into my hands…’ ) and an ugly, if memorable opening proper, reminiscent of the start of Earthly Powers: ‘ This morning his Holiness summoned me to read from St Augustine, while the physician applied unguents and salves to his suppurating arse…’ The rest is freakish couplings, religious sects, torture: a cracking read for all ages, then. Giles Foden in The Guardian

Fishtale
by Hans Bauer
(17 Reviews)
Genre: Children’s eBooks
What might have been an ordinary fishing trip becomes an unforgettable adventure when twelve-year-old Sawyer Brown pursues a legendary giant catfish and a stolen ring that may hold the key to his mother’s life.
Sawyer’s family runs a catfish farm in rural Mississippi. When his widowed mom gets sick after a pond “cat” swallows her wedding ring, Sawyer is sure the missing ring is to blame. Strange clues and a local myth convince him that the pond cat has become a meal for a far more challenging catch. He sets out with two friends and his stowaway little sister to solve the secret of the ring.
Journeying deep into a remote bayou, the foursome must rely on their wits and each other to navigate the teeming swamp, outsmart a sneaky poacher, and overcome their differences in pursuit of a colossal catfish. But this is no ordinary fish. This is Ol’ One Eye, the biggest, oldest, smartest, and meanest darn cat that ever swam the Yazoo River! And before long, the adventurers aren’t sure who is chasing who.
This is a fish tale that readers won’t want to miss.
